Concepts of inflammation and degeneration in MS: [Inflammation throughout MS spectrum (lesion axon loss microglial activation); divide into periph infilt vs CNS compartm]
How soon might it start – PD MS evidence (imaging, recent pathology - Bruck)?
Mechanisms: Adaptive (T and B specificity; ? Target/ pediatric Axoglial?) vs Innate (bystander; chronic microglial activation – more later)
Direct inflamma damage vs. indirect (impacting degeneration –eg OPC failed repair, astrocyte support, of OPC, neurons eg NK; exacerbate metabolic stress/demand/mitochondria, channelopathies etc
Single vs multi-hit (eg Jack’s Oligo model, then Moore et al direct inflamm/OPC or via astrocytes)
CNS compartmentalized – evidence late (Renyolds); early (Lucchinetti): microglia – Nat Neurosci

1. Inflammatory/Degenerative? Different inflammatory ‘flavors’?
2. Relation of Red to Blue? What if we eliminate blue?
3. What starts it all (‘the ‘chicken or the Egg’)?

Inflammation and Degeneration in MS
“An ongoing quandary in MS is what causes the ultimate loss of axons and neurons that underlies disability progression.
Is there an evolving profile of [CNS] inflammation?
Is there another process of neurodegeneration?
If both, are these processes independent or somehow inter‐related?”
After Wolfgang BrÜck
Mechanisms that may underlie Progressive (‘non relapsing’) CNS injury
Inflammation: Perivascular lesion (Adaptive)
Focal and diffuse (Glial activation)
Meningeal inflammation (‘B-cell rich’)
Degeneration: ‘Toxins’: glutamate; O2, Nitrogen, Fe/HemeMitochondrial (demand outstrips supply…)
‘Functional channelopathies’
Neural-glial uncoupling; functional networks
Mechanisms above also likely contribute to limited repair
Loss of compensatory mechanisms + Ageing

Hints for common neuronal homeostatic, survival and synaptic plasticity pathways.
All diseases exhibited changes in several inflammation-related genes …role of the innate immune system in the pathogenesis and/or response to neurodegeneration.
Are there common mechanisms across diseases?

Neuroinflammation contribution to synapse loss may be primarily mediated by altered glial functions.

Summary: Inflammation in Progressive MSInflammation appears to be involved throughout MS spectrum; contributes in different ways in different CNS sub-compartments
Perivascular, diffuse, meningeal
Roles for both adaptive and innate; likely Innate > Adaptive
Important interface between inflammatory and degenerative mechanisms
Glial cells (microglia, astrocytes) as mediators of inflammation
Both direct and indirect injury mechanisms; ‘multiple hit’ model
‘Progressive disease biology’ may start earlier than we would like to think!

Approach: Blinded ‘unbiased’ proteomics of CSF obtained at time of initial episode of pediatric CNS inflammatory demyelination*
Subsequent ascertainment as MS (vs monophasic)
Hypothesis: Compact myelin antigens (MBP, PLP), traditionally considered disease-initiating, will be over-represented in CSF of children with MS than controls
Pediatric MS CSF may better reflect Early MS targets

Less known features:
? Impact of ‘peripheral/relapsing inflammation’ on ‘CNS-compartmentalized inflammation’
Eg: peripheral immune cell responses impacting:- microglial activation- glia-glia interactions
? Impact of ‘CNS inflammation’ (whether peripheral or compartmentalized) on ‘non-inflammatory’ (‘degen’) aspects of disease:
- inflammation impacting mitochondrial function- Klaus Nave presentation at ISNI/Mahad

Peripheral Inflammation in PPMS (vs RRMS, SPMS)
Several studies – no clear convergence/conclusion
“We found unique autoantibody patterns that distinguished RRMS, secondary progressive (SPMS), and primary progressive (PPMS) MS from both healthy controls and other neurologic or autoimmune driven diseases including Alzheimer's disease, adrenoleukodystropy, and lupus erythematosus.”
Antigen microarrays identify unique serum autoantibody signatures in clinical and pathologic subtypes of multiple sclerosis. Quintana FJ; PNAS U S A. 2008
Lack of Replication; technology platforms; Cohort matching;(eg disease duration; Immune senescence)
Not convinced that relevant differences have been established between peripheral immune responses in PPMS and SPMS
